Hya!

Fascinating. It seems you are not all talk.

Even so, how will you handle this?

Magnes Nevil Agol!

Oh yeah? How about this?!

Unmatched Starblade!

Stop!

Huh...?!

Urgh...

Sirius!

......

You are a princess of this land. Why have you interfered in our battle?

......

With the Prince's skills, at the least we both would have perished in the battle.

And yet, you have separated us. Why?

No, you're wrong.

This is not a battlefield!

This is the Imperial capital! It's where the people of Bariura live!

If the fighting goes on any longer, the people will only suffer even more.

That's why I...

......

Please, leave the capital... Leave our city alone.

I am the god of judgment. I punish sinful mortals.

I have not slaughtered your people nor engaged in wanton destruction as the rest of the God Army has.

If I am honest, it seems unnatural to me as well.

The sight of the God Army sending innocent people to their deaths, one after another...

...it may be that, in this war, we of the God Army may be the more sinful ones.

...!

This surprises you?

Hearing a disciple speak these words?

Y-Yes.

......

Prince, for the sake of this Princess, I will withdraw.

W-Wait!

...do not worry.

I have no intention of aiding this chaotic slaughter any further.

Deep within your eyes, I can now see the seeds of sin sprouting, alongside another, less sinful choice.

I will face you again when one or the other has reached full bloom.

Seeds of sin, deep within my eyes...?

Huh. I...I can't deny it.

Argh...

Sirius, we need to get somewhere safe for now.

Y-Yes, you're right.
